Should-be-President-for-life Obama today announced his support for heterosexual marriage, thereby demonstrating continued evolution and making his reelection in November a virtual certainty.

The president told a stunned audience in front of a different garage that he has "no problem with straight people marrying, even if it means they might be punished for it with a baby."

He later walked back the latter part, saying the federal government would likely take steps to ensure minimal baby punishments.

Even though he said he endorsed the concept of straight marriage, the president did not announce any new federal initiatives in the matter, saying he preferred to leave the issue up to the states.

While the president's pronouncement was viewed as groundbreaking and momentous, some proponents of straight marriage were disappointed that the president did not go further. Answering reporters' questions on the issue later in the day, Press Secretary Jay Carney said "I can't predict when he might come out more forcefully on this. His position continues to evolve depending on the tides, the time of day, wind direction and which donors' garages he is speaking in front of."

Regardless of the silly complaints, most experts believe this bold stand will guarantee President Obama's much-deserved re-election in November. Political analyst David Letterman, who holds the important job of sitting behind a desk and talking while most people are sleeping, said "He's endorsed gay marraige, he's endorsed straight marraige, honest to god, what more can this man DO for us?"

A spokesman (always a "spokesman" because he hates womyn) for the president's undeserving opponent Mitt Romney had no comment but it was widely believed this is code for "He's out cutting someone's hair again."

Not satisfied with all he has already done for us, the president will be speaking later this week in front of a barn at the National Association of Farm Animal Breeders. It is expected the president will have another major announcement regarding a position of his that has continued to evolve.

I hear he's been working on his thesis around his next highly anticipated evolutionary announcement from about the time he met Mooch.

Dear O'Leader continues to evolve with every day, much like fruit flies exposed to radiation. Sometimes their heads get bigger; his cannot lest he be in the Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York as one of the balloons.

I knew, however, that his position was evolving. When he was last at the Rancho, I got to take this picture:

Expect any day for Dear O'leader to support marriage between the species. After all, this is the first time anyone has ever seen a Muslim kiss a pig.

Hmm. With Peloski and Lord O, just who's the rimmer and who's the rimee? I have for years maintained that in high prog circles, they all drop to all fours and smell each other's farts. This causes a true communication of the progressive souls. They LIVE to smell their own farts.

To paraphrase General Disarray: South Park did it! South Park did it!

The Prog sense of smell is highly evolved. It's strange isn't it, what the dumb beasts of the animal kingdom with the most highly developed sense of smell find to be the most pleasing smells. Perhaps it's God's revenge.

This photo explains much. Now I know why Dear Leader's lips look so much younger than the rest of him. BTW, has anyone seen their dog lately? Perhaps the pooch did not become naked lunch but was simply the one who put the "BO" in "BOTOX".

Dear O'Leader continues to evolve with every day, much like fruit flies exposed to radiation. Sometimes their heads get bigger; his cannot lest he be in the Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York as one of the balloons.I hereby officially propose that this paragraph be immortalized in stone - or, at the very least, a decent quality of brass - and hung over the main door to the White House.

Perhaps the pooch did not become naked lunch but was simply the one who put the "BO" in "BOTOX".How interesting, Opiate. I have been on a conference call between, and here I am going to do some shameless prog name dropping, between Lord Obozo and Mario Batali. The subject? Poochi Sushi.

We can have poodle pad thai. Stir-fried chihuahua. But the best is pomeranian au vessy. Nothing better than a dog boiled in a pig's bladder. Nanski Peloski showed me this trick; she'd learned it from one her her ancestors, who survived the Donner incident.

Roast German Shepard. Have you ever had Dogducken? That's a chicken inside a duck inside a border collie. Serve with garlic mashed potatoes and a full-bodied People's Wine, which is at least 20% Putinka vodka that you've waved a grape over.

ROCK, your fulsome praise is making my face red. Even redder than normal; as you know I spend a LOT of time screaming at people who aren't progressive enough. I don't know why they don't just bow to me, for I am Father Prog, but for some reason they don't see the irrefutable truth of my internal weather. Because reality is what I pull out of my ass.

ROCK, I am beginning to worry about you. I am not quite sure that I hear the proper revolutionary sympathies from you.

Have you stolen a blind man's pencils today?

Have you looked down your nose as you explained why you needed to steal the blind man's pencils?

Have you told the blind man not to be greedy and to pay his fair share? Solyndra needs it. Ethanol subsidies need it, and let's never forget that with ethanol subsidies we can starve the Mexicans which will make more of them come here, so we can have more undocumented but oh-so-valuable voters.

The Great State of Florida is showing us the way. The state is trying to winnow its voting rolls of the dead and the ineligible. Why, I hear you ask, does one bother? The legal voters are not guaranteed to vote for us, whereas all the illegals and by the way the prison inmates do too. But the counties are dragging their feet, claiming that they don't have enough information.

I agree. A death certificate or final criminal judgment should be no bar to being a good Progressive voter.

Where would we be without Chicago and LBJ-style machine politics, with all the lies, deceit, thuggery and theft? We'd have to, and I can hardly say this, for my emotions are running so high, get an honest job.

Look in the mirror and ask yourself something. Do you really, in your cold steely heart of cold steely hearts, really WANT a job? Or do you want to tell others what to do?

Father Prog, I do SOOOOO appreciate your caring, but the truth is that I've been, perhaps, SEEMING a little less progressive lately, but it's only because I've been saving up ALL my glorious progressiveismness for this weekend and OCCUPY NATO CHICAGO!!!

Perhaps the pooch did not become naked lunch but was simply the one who put the "BO" in "BOTOX".How interesting, Opiate. I have been on a conference call between, and here I am going to do some shameless prog name dropping, between Lord Obozo and Mario Batali. The subject? Poochi Sushi.

We are but simple people. We never got beyond friscasee of fido in the "My Dog Hates It When I Cook" book.

ROCK, just don't let me see you slacking. You seem to nasty, selfish, self-regarding, filled to above the Plimsoll line with your own esteem and hubris. I've never seen a single kind thing that you've suggested and you calumniate everyone that you can.

Opiate, I am a Leaning Forward™ progressive. I would say man but then that's sexist. I'm a leaning-forward political unit. A voting unit. An economic unit. A political unit. I can see a burgeoning market in cooked dog. After all, if we haven't reduced the AmeriKKKan populace to eating its poodles, then we have failed as a society. We've trained them to wait on the couch for a check of OPM, and then not to complain when the check doesn't do as much as it once did.

So the next logical step is eating Fluffy.

That's of course because the Greedy Geezers have eaten their children economically by then.

Red, it is entirely logical to think that Obama evolved from Napoleon or even Snowball, but Red, I knew Napoleon and Napoleon was a friend of mine. Obama is no Napoleon.

Lord O in fact evolved from a used sanitary napkin that Nanski Peloski left on the side of the road. One once thought of fish struggling to come on land from the sea; it seems that now they directly head to Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard Law. They don't have to rise on their hind legs all that far, which is refreshing; it saves effort when the stoop to smell each others' farts.

So refreshing to see Lord O confirming evolution. You can see it happening.

Comrade Frum, I don't get it. What is the problem with people being paid just for being? What is wrong with people being honored just for being? What is wrong with people getting anything they want as long as you and I have our stuff screwed to the ground or sit higher on the table to the salt?

One's essential worth is one's ability to claim suffering. Which must be recompensed. That's it. Steve Jobs? A tinkerer. Pah. Larry Ellison? A knave and a fool. They cannot claim suffering and so deserve nothing from us except our hatred.

Work your anger, Frum, work your anger. It's SO much easier than having to, er, learn something or do something.

Comrades, I just snap time after time. Then I completely understand all of my mistakes, perform sincere self-criticism in front of the local Party cell, get pardoned, then purged, then off to the gulag.

Now back on the snap vein. Believe it or not, I was born, grew up and became 18 years old just a 2-3 miles away from a famous gulag in Albania, the gulag of Gjaza, Lushnje. You can even check it in Google maps. I was from Toshkez.

Until here, nothing really special. The unbelievable starts here: we the free people envied the standards of living of people in the gulag, however absurd this can sound. They had a 6-day working week and 8-hour working day. My mom had a 7-day working week and a 12-hour working day. They were paid higher salaries, lived in better homes inside the gulag, had running water inside houses, and wheat bread all year round. All of this, courtesy of the good heart of the Party.

I didn't have any of this, and had 9 month a year corn bread, often with the mold.

Don't get me wrong, comrades. Here our envy ended. Then, those people by definition had no reason to live for, nothing to look for, no hope. They couldn't go to school or advance in life, per law. They had to voluntarily present themselves in front of the police once a week, or else.

Not that we could go to school or advance in life, but we did have the hope and weren't barred per law. This all in the socialist paradise of the classless society. Try to explain it to the AmeriKKKan comrades. They start with "we haven't yet got it right." When this doesn't work, they explain my being reactionary with my being rustic, whence less illuminated than them, no matter how many degrees did I pile up in the reactionary West.

Comrade John Frum! I'm surprised you're really from Albania because judging by your name you must be somewhere from Melanesia, giving hope to the natives about the coming Glorious World of Next Tuesday, when the Western man dies and the true believers inherit all of his cargo. Which is similar to the Occupy Wall Street agenda.

Comrade Red Square! It is a nickname. Living in reactionary AmeriKKKa I have to adopt a nickname. Working with the local Occupy Wall Street Movement here in Orlando, Florida. Albania was the only true socialist country in the world, therefore I am in a unique position to give them advice and direction.

Again I repeat that I am schizophrenic and we continue the eternal inner class struggle between the two comrades in me.

You know what is funny as hell? When I meet comrades from Columbia. As they learn that I am from Albania their eyes lighten up like thunderbolts. "Haha, you lived in the only true socialist country in the world. What a paradise that must have been." It is easy for those poor souls to believe it. Albania is in center-south Europe, therefore it can't be really poor in the border of Italy and Greece. It doesn't have colonial history, therefore is born without sin. It was small and closed, therefore one could easily make whatever psychological projections on it without risk of having to verify or face reality.

Then I say "it's all propaganda," and they take that sad face "pwned again."

BTW, it's not true that Albania doesn't have colonial history. We were the soldiers of the Ottoman Empire, and pretty bloodthirsty butchers at it. In Bulgaria still nowadays when they curse somebody, they call him... "Albanian assassin."

Comrade Frum, I had guessed that you would have been related to the Canadian once-conservative David Frum, who has seen the light recently.

I will think hard and long about your morality tale about the people in the gulag and their working days and your working days. And the Hope. The Hope for Change. The morality tale is this: just how in the world did someone get smart enough to get people to work half again as hard, at least, as the de facto prisoners just by telling them that they had Hope and Change? How? Only an idiot would believe that. That's astonishing.

Oh. It seems that in November of 2008, 69,456,897 Americans, or people who presented themselves as eligible Americans, bought it.

Now I get it.

Thank you. It's also a morality tale if you consider that the gulag is a union, and that your family, not being in the gulag, had to pay for it.

Thank you, Comrade Frum. You have educated Father Prog. And that doesn't happen all that often. I'm a cynical old bastard.

My positions depend pretty much on which of the two comrades in me is talking.

The masses of the unwashed do actually lack ability for long term planning. That's why they are poor to begin with. Therefore they vote for whoever promises them the biggest cargo for tomorrow. That makes the One (O'bama, John Frum, or whoever else placeholder) prove further disdain for the masses they feed with the cargos from the rich.Actually Bill Maher and the masses of the unwashed do have a point in wanting more power for the government: everybody is able to plan better for them than themselves.

It's not like I fully understood your questions. In Albania we were so miserable that it did cross people's mind to commit something against the party in order to get locked in the gulag and have better standards of living than the people outside the gulag. The point being, the social status. The scare of loss of social status made the "free" work for longer and for less than the people inside the gulag.

And I do think that socialism for some time works very well. In the beginning people have two big, big motivators: fear and hope. Fear of ending up in the gulag for 3 generations (or for the eternity), and hope of the socialist paradise that is like horizon: the more you move towards it, the more it moves away. The more you move away, the more it moves towards you.

Then people learn that their best bet is the corruption. Henceforth the utopia is doomed forever. Which may pretty well mean "while in the hole, keep digging."

"While in the hole, keep digging." I hate to tell you, but that's so last-term. The current phrase is, "double down." I heard it from Dear O'leader. From his sainted lips.

I have read that the Israelites, on leaving Egypt, wandered for 40 years, not that they were lost, but that it took that long for people to do for themselves and throw off the yoke of servitude. During the first years, some wanted to return to their collars in Egypt.

It's taken about 40 years to get America to go from doing for ourselves to being a couch-potato-and-recipient nation. I suppose that Adam Smith was wrong when he said, "There is a lot of ruin in a nation." Our progressive friends have ruined AmeriKKKa in only about a half century.

I lust for the time when the only permitted license is sexual; that every trip will have to have approval. That our accommodations will have to be approved. That the government can control our thermostats, our driving, our cars, our even having cars. That it will control us from womb to tomb.

Except of course for us progressives. I've been stocking up the Rancho like Aladdin's cave for the past decade and I take the true progressive's view: If it's not nailed down, it's mine, and if I could get it, it wasn't nailed down."

And as far as pride goes, the only pride will be pride in whatever ethnic group we belong to. There will be no pride in achievement because that would make for unequal outcomes. We can have black pride, feminist pride, gay pride, Hispanic pride, but it must be based on something that is essentially unimportant. True pride will be destroyed.

Hell, that's the reason for this site. One cannot take pride in solving a Rubick's Cube, if not everyone else can solve one.

Albania has been probably the second-most progressive nation in the Earth, with the exception of Cambodia. We voluntarily collectivized the land and the cows, because the government knows best. Voluntary compliance is mandatory.

In the moment that we were voluntarily giving up our cows, I remember, it happened around 1979, a teacher comrade said "now they may want to collectivize our wives, and then we're OK." A secret police comrade overheard (they always do, they are always there for us, even when we don't know, like good parents), arrested comrade teacher, cut his hair clean, and off to the most honorable of gulags: the chrome mine gulag, for his own lifelong reeducation. And I remember this.

All these AmeriKKKan comrades with a PhD in cultural anthropology (have known quite a few of them) are sure that when the new order will install, they'll become glorious members of the politburo. They can't possibly imagine that mother-Party will throw her most deserving members to toil for life and without thanks into a chrome mine.

Comrade Frum, this old prog's eyes well up at your memories of the gulags at the Second Most Progressive nation on earth. I'm sure that you adored Enver Hoxha as much as I admired him.

But really, is working like a zek in a chrome mine as bad as having your hair cut by Mitt Romney? I'm sure that kid killed himself from the memories of a hazing incident. How much worse that was than say the time of Primo Levi in Auschwitz. Bear in mind though; Levi was a Jew and those good old times of progressives murdering Jews are just around the corner. Listen to the trendy dinner parties on the Continent. Judenhassp isn't even hidden any more. For all of recorded history, progressives have murdered Jews. Why? We just do.

As far as the PhDs in cultural anthropology: one of the benefits of Jiffy-Lobo is that you really believe that they'll eat you last. When you're already eaten.

They don't believe that they'll ever be eaten. They believe that they're a better species than the rest of the little guys. One such cutie pie from Tampa, FL, a PhD in Cultural Anthropology, asked me in disparaging way, "what do you know about Social Engineering?"

They failed to become mechanical engineers, or anything whatsoever else useful for the matter. They are too stupid for that. Then they go where nobody will bother to challenge them (Social Engineering), feel so smart, and bring so much misery upon the rest of us, little people. "It would have been much worse without them."

BTW, one of their topmost darlings, Comrade Antonio Gramsci, is Albanian. One more reason to "love" Albania.

Frum, you are getting dangerously close to a ThoughtCrime™. The reason that these people are given to social engineering is that they're incapable of doing anything else. I recall, back when I went to that bastion of privilege, Rice, I was stupid enough to major in math and take Latin for grins. This meant that I actually felt that I'd accomplished something, with writing compilers and translating volumes of Virgil.

Which is of course elitist swill. I denounce myself. I denounce the Theocritus of the 70s.

The danger is that people who do for themselves won't be as malleable (and recall that's Latin for "able to be hammered") as others. So we must tell them that their highest duty is to feel and to care, and because they care--and that's there only requisite virtue--they get to order other people around.

Because they say they care. Because people believer that the care. Because people don't have the time to challenge them, to question them, to debunk them. Not that there's anything wrong with totalitarianism, of course.

Do not fret about the intelligence of these people. Did not dear Lenin teach us about useful idiots? People who disregard laws for their own ends are always destroyed by the same sort of people, but who are more vicious than they are. People who don't believe in crimes, only criminals, will be one day the criminal. Ask the heroes of the French Revolution. AmeriKKKa's presidents all died in bed, until the assassination of Lincoln. All the French revolutionaries died by the National Razor. The guillotine. Which was named after its inventor. Who was its guest.

The public schools with their unions are dedicated to the stupefaction of children. Good for them, couldn't be better. Union thugs are fed with taxpayer dollars. Any why did those mullets need money anyway? Better to the unions.

I personally never fret about an analytical proletariat. Analysis is hard work and doesn't give you the room to spread your magnificence as much as, well, spreading your magnificence. So be of good cheer. Complacent, pig-stupid and hog-lazy and swine-entitled people are here for us, ready to waddle to the ballot box and vote for their own execution.

Dear Uncle Lenin, thank you, thank you. What a diamantine phrase.

Remember: there are no crimes, only criminals. And whether you live or die depends on who gets to point out the criminals.

BTW, Guillotin was a honorable doctor who tried to make the execution painless. To a degree he succeeded, as compared to the methods of the time. He was ashamed of the association of his name with the device, and changed the family name to something else that I don't know. He died in the bed, peacefully.

There was another person named Guillotin who died of guillotine, and helped perpetuate the myth.

We've got to live in this one world here. Mobs will be around forever. That thugs die a violent death is no consolation to their victims, no amend to their pain.

That thugs die a violent death is no consolation to their victims, no amend to their pain.No, but then, and I do not mean to be harsh, at the end there is something solipsistic about people acknowledging pain. I promise you I am looking in the mirror.

I've seen documentaries of the blacks who helped build the Trans-Alaska Highway ("Give them the crappy stuff; hell they's only niggers") and they did a very good job of it indeed, against all odds. The Tuskogee Airmen and their quiet dignity impressed me so much that I had to quit watching.

I have heard, not read, that in the gulags the zeks would come to pity their torturers.

Currently I'm undergoing the most extensive evaluation of the relationship between people that I've ever had, and wondering mightily about the true relationship between the dominant and the submissive. Unthinkable that I'd consider it a decade ago.

No currently extant body has been more traduced, murdered and hated than the Jews. And not through their fault. It was not their fault but it was their responsibility. No excuse for the prison camps, but so many survivors had such strange psychological traits afterwards, or killed themselves.

We should never, if possible, let thugs get away with it, but I am unclear as to whether one ought to seek a revenge, or feel that one could seek a revenge, for something which must, as cruelly unjust as it is, be accepted.

I don't know elsewhere, but I do know for a fact about Albania. Whatever they started with, the tortured ends up becoming masochist and identifying with the torturer. The torturer becomes sadist and DOES NOT identify with the tortured. The toughest defenders of Communism in Albania were, you guessed it, the gulag people. When it became crystal clear that Communism was really over, they told me that they were not sincere in their intents, and was meant "to improve their biography."

Which one should I believe? Certainly not the books of academicians who never left their ivory towers. And I am a Math professor myself, with PhD in Math, 5 fluent languages, plus some 50% Russian (sixth). Studying for a second PhD now. When liberals argue "but from a scholarly viewpoint", I interrupt them and tell them "I am not scholarly enough for you."

I tell you what it is, because I saw it in statistically meaningful samples in real life. The victim falls down more and more and more again.

Эй, ухнем!Эй, ухнем!Ещё разик, ещё да раз!

The perpetrator feels more and more powerful. How deep do we have to go to find justification for the contrary?

There is an intrinsic trait that makes this kind of psychopaths fall. And I have seen it happen systematically, unmistakably. Being paranoids, they make enemies left and right and up and down and forth and back. Feeling all-powerful makes them ignore the storm they're gathering, even when they are in the middle of the storm. They believe themselves smart. At some degree they actually are. They are not the dumbest. But if they really were smart, they'd foresee how it ends for them. Clues are there. They feel smart because they trick people with tricks that other people would never think of simply because other people have breaks and these psychopaths don't.

Look at Obama. He hates Reagan wholesale, and pretends to be a Reaganite. And so on and on.

About the suicides of Holocaust survivors. I know this for a fact. When you are in the middle of the trouble, you are urged for action. Whatever helps you get afloat. Whatsoever. Then, when you are safe, you feel so good that you survived and the others no. Then, when you already have returned to the civilization, hard-wired morality of mentally healthy people ticks in. And claims you. Under the weight of survivor's guilt for survivor's happiness. To begin with. Then there is PTSD, and so on and on.

I have often wondered if America was an exception in mankind's history because it is predicated on the idea that people want to be their own masters, and rulers of their own morality. I have never been at a loss for people who would willingly have yielded to me any amount of power that I wanted. Which I did not want.

I should try again to read Primo Levy. But when he, without food or water, reached outside a window for an icicle, a guard stopped him. "Why?" Levi asked. It couldn't hurt.

"There is no why here."

The most chilling words I've heard, even more than Mussolini's first perfect formulation for totalitarianism: "All for the State and nothing outside the State."

No currently extant body has been more traduced, murdered and hated than the Jews. And not through their fault. It was not their fault but it was their responsibility. No excuse for the prison camps, but so many survivors had such strange psychological traits afterwards, or killed themselves.We should never, if possible, let thugs get away with it, but I am unclear as to whether one ought to seek a revenge, or feel that one could seek a revenge, for something which must, as cruelly unjust as it is, be accepted.My family is supremely more important to me than every man, woman, and child on earth combined. I trust many would say the same. Israelis.

Some would throw themselves at the mercy of power and be compliant. “Better red than dead”. NYC Jewish Liberals.

Some would sell their families out for personal gain. Soros

I speak from experience…

I believe that even if we screwed up, we are allowed second chances to make up. Indeed, those Holocaust survivors who were good people but did collaborate with Nazis under harsh circumstances ended up in suicide.

We are well on the way to abject surrender. A school in I believe New York is mandating that all students take Arabic for three years, and their view is that it's becoming a global language like Spanish or French. Ah, the sweet sound of dhimmitude.

That could only be topped if say that same New York school had forced all students to take three years of German in the mid 1930s.

I know a man whose grandfather, who was a Wall Street banker, played golf with Hitler at Baden Baden in the mornings, and he didn't know that Hitler was planning the extermination of the Jews in the afternoon. He refused to help place Hitler's German's financial trades because he didn't like the man. This was before Chamberlain went to visit, and before the camps.

He got accused later on of insider trading on Wall Street and important Jews remembered that, and testified for him as being incapable of doing it. Even if they didn't know him.

Ah, this Arabic makes sense. After all, Dear Obozo said that the muezzin's call to prayer was the loveliest sound on earth--I've thought so since The Exorcist Two--and he did a fine job of bowing to the Saudi king.

Islam prohibits charging interest, I believe. I suppose that means that interest will be a dhimmi tax, and the Faithful won't have to pay it. Or perhaps destruction of property will be the dhimmi tax.

We are well on the way to abject surrender. A school in I believe New York is mandating that all students take Arabic for three years, and their view is that it's becoming a global language like Spanish or French. Ah, the sweet sound of dhimmitude.

It's not a school that students are forced to attend. The "choice" allows it to happen. They say if a parent objects they will deal with it individually...which is laughable because we now coordinate lesson plans to compliment other subjects. Say you teach math...you make a lesson plan that incorporates the 99% crap...or get blacklisted after a "school closing".

A really dumb move would be to use a "school closing" to get rid of union mutineers instead of lousy teachers who indoctrinate kids.

John Dewey HS allows students the "choice" to take little booklets that are Saudi funded and "prove" the qu'ran scientifically. Cultural studies....

Under Dear Oleader, I believe that NASA was tasked--that perfect bureaucratic phrase--with making the Arabs feel better about their contributions to technology. Space. Something like that. Now if I could see them move the mountain TO Mohammed, I'd be very impressed indeed.

But Paradigm, I do take the point that all this is "voluntary"; how you vote in a union election is voluntary too but we must have card check so make sure that you vote the right way.

As the New Black Panthers threaten white voters and put a bounty on the head of a "white Hispanic," and nothing is done, we could have Hamas or the Taliban hand out flyers and give religious instruction.

The children will shortly be praying five times a day, splitting the angle between Washington and Mecca, and if they pee, poo, or fart since the last prayer, they, according to the imams in Indonesia, must let the water run five five minutes before it's pure enough to wipe their asses to be clean enough to pray.

There is an intrinsic trait that makes this kind of psychopaths fall. And I have seen it happen systematically, unmistakably. Being paranoids, they make enemies left and right and up and down and forth and back. Feeling all-powerful makes them ignore the storm they're gathering, even when they are in the middle of the storm. They believe themselves smart. At some degree they actually are. They are not the dumbest. But if they really were smart, they'd foresee how it ends for them. Clues are there. They feel smart because they trick people with tricks that other people would never think of simply because other people have breaks and these psychopaths don't.

Obama's presidency. He is very much the eye of a gathering storm against him that is fueled by his hubris and bad character. But he isn't a psychopath, just a sociopath. I wouldn't say he's smart. Being a collectivist in mental habit he has no concept of free society and the organic nature individual freedom plays in the creation and sustaining of things like health care and energy. Being a collectivist he doesn't see that to cleave the products that are created out of freedom from freedom itself destroys both. And I think that this incomprehension on his part and the part of the left is stupidity of the highest order.

Comrades, let's never forget that Dear Oleader was groomed from the very start as being, pace Joe Biden, a black man who was articulate and who cleaned up well. I'm surprised he didn't say cleaned up good. Perhaps he did.

Dear Obozo is very fetching, and I don't mean emetic. People love him and would like him for a "life coach," but they may think that life coach means touring the homes of the Rich and Famous with Robin.

Let's never forget that he's really the Accidental President. He was a vessel who was abandoned. But he in public he was always praised. He could do no wrong; he was lifted to the empyrean heights because he does indeed clean up good. Very well indeed.

He was never published once according to LEXIS/NEXIS during the time he was president of the law review; there are suppositions that Bill Ayers wrote his books. Which are political books--about him.

We should always remember that Dear Oleader is grandfathered into all possible respect. He doesn't have to qualify, he doesn't have to earn it. He's been given a pass.

Remember that there are no crimes, only criminals.

The obverse to this is that there are no crimes or failures for the anointed. Because to call a result a failure or an action bad would cause a crisis of faith in someone who had been Chosen.

And it is only fitting that the Chosen One fetched up to be a narcissist. After all, wouldn't you be, if people thought the sun shined out your ass when you were just average?

There's a '70's Spanish movie about Franco's dictatorship set shortly after the civil war, The Spirit of the Beehive. It's entire theme was on how the Spanish had created Franco out of all of their hopes and dreams. But by doing so they had created a monster that was murdering their hopes and dreams. It's all beautifully done in allegory, as the story had to be, as it was filmed while Franco was still in power.

Forty years ago I went through a period of reading Kurt Vonnegut. I probably ought to read him again, but then I ought to read anything. He said something which I have never forgotten: that if God didn't exist, man would have had to create Him.

...entire theme was on how the Spanish had created Franco out of all of their hopes and dreams.I am constantly amazed at the human desire to pawn their souls, and you don't have to be religious to understand the idea of a soul, to something which they think will help them. It's very very hard to stand on the edge of a cliff and say, "I accept responsibility for myself, and I know that I shall eventually fail, as we all do." It is hard to look down and know for sure that it will end in ignominy, as it must. As it does for all people. And it's particularly hard to say, "Well, that's okay." It's very liberating when you get it.

So people find their saviors. Their Lord Os.

Over my life I've had a large number of people offer me power over them and I have never accepted it. I like eyes at a level. After 27 years, someone from the past might be offering me power again and I'm nonplussed.

I've been doing some reading in the endless treasure trove/sewer of the Internet about BDSM relationships. They may be a sexual kink but they explore a few truths about the human psyche, and there's no reason to think that the underlying reasons for this behavior stay in the bedroom and are not transferred to the bigger world.

The main difference I see is that in the "literature" (blame Joan Didion for using that word in anything other than a Great Books sense), most everyone acknowledges that the sub, although beaten, ordered about, and humiliated, by the dom, is really the one in charge.

I've never done this nor spoken with anyone who has, but I've seen it several times.

So. There are some people honest, I suppose, enough, to seek out someone who will traduce them, give them pain, but with the view that they'll be taken care of. That their needs will be met. That by their submission they will triumph.

But Obama is too full of himself to really understand all the power he's given others over him. That cracked pot may just go to pieces over the next few months. He's a very undisciplined person and actually not very bright.

He's been the Promised Child. Perfect, cleans up good, sounds good, delivers a good speech, when TOTUS is up to the job. I'd give money to hear back room conversations involving Alexrod, Emanuel, and other wanna be Stalins who've put their faith in this photogenic ninny.

The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans of tomorrow. They come to be accepted by degrees, by precedent, by implication, by erosion, by default, by dint of constant pressure on one side and constant retreat on the other - until the day when they are suddenly declared to be the country's official ideology. ~ Ayn Rand
